Personal Encounters with Jesus, #01. "Jesus and The Religious Guy". Pastor Mick Catron walks us thru John 3 with the Pharisee Nicodemus coming to Jesus with questions. The "born again" experience is explained as well as the "born of water and the Spirit" statement of Christ to this Jewish leader. The means of the new birth, the only way to make it to God's eternal Kingdom, is identified - by faith alone.

This is the final (pt. 3) of the Series, "UFO's, Aliens, and the Bible" - in this special message, "As In The Days of Noah", Pastor Mick Catron looks at the spiritual flavor during the time on Noah. Specifically, Gen. 6 that talks about the "Sons of God", and the "Nephilim". Mick relates the strange spiritual activity of that day to the prophesied activity and deception of the last days.

In pt. 2 of this Series, "UFO's, Aliens, and the Bible" - in this special message, "Aliens, Angels, and Demons", Pastor Mick Catron shares about the fall of Satan and the fall of him and his angels to the earth and surrounding 'heavens'. We look specifically into the strategy of Satan to deceive, and how that will increase as we approach the 2nd coming of Christ.

In this special message, UFOs, Aliens, and The Bible" - Pt. 1, Pastor Mick Catron shares about the coming prophesied last-days deception, including "signs and wonders in the heavens", which at it's core will serve to distract people from looking to Christ for answers. Mick shares about recent UFO File Dumps and other current info about aliens in light of what the Scripture directly teaches about God our creator, Angels, and Human Intelligences.

Pastor Mick teaches thru the key parts of ch. 12-14. Hosea recalls the start of the Jewish people and Jacob - how he went from conniver to submission to God. And how they were delivered from Egypt and strong ... until they embraced Baal and idols and rejected God. Then the book ends with the hope of restored relationship in spite of the judgment coming on the northern nation.

Pastor Mick teaches thru the highlights of ch. 9-11. Hosea's message is that, due to rejection of the Lord, Israel would go backwards to about where they were 750 years ago - when they were slaves in Egypt. Their 'return to Egypt' will be in Assyria. God's heart breaks (ch. 11) as He deals out deserved punishment as a consequence for their stubborn sin.

Pastor Mick gives a special message, "Your Day of Pentecost" from Acts 1-2. Starting with a brief history of Pentecost, and seeing Peter's declaration that this promise was not just for the people in Acts 2. but for all believers, Pastor Mick walks thru the promise and fulfillment of this special "Baptism in the Holy Spirit" occurrence. He focuses on Jesus' repeated promise that the main purpose of the experience was to empower God's people to share His love and truth.

Pastor Mick teaches thru the highlights of ch. 6-8. From 6:4 - chapter 8, Hosea inventories the sin and rejection of Israel, with their judgment on them set securely. But in 6:1-3, offers hope for the nation eventually, but specifically for the individual to be restored to God. He thus exhorts them to repent & return to God, even with judgment coming.

Pastor Mick teaches thru the highlights of ch. 4-5. The book of Hosea moves from Hosea's illustrated marriage to his direct message in ch. 4. Specifically this study looks at the root causes for Israel's rebellion and their wrongly placed efforts to fix their problem of coming judgment. Ch. 5 reminds them that religion is not the answer, but a true heart of repentance and return to the relationship with God.
